23、认为是汤姆旷课。”句中用what提问,what在句中作主语,答语也应为主语替代what。还原句子应为:Toms being absent from school makes mum so upset。故选B项。答案:B4解析:分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作the lecture的后置定语,且the lecture与follow之间构成逻辑上的主动关系,根据答语中的“will tell”可知,此处表示将来的概念,因此用不定式的主动式作后置定语。答案:C5解析:考查动词不定式。句意:因为他有时撒谎,我的确还未决定是否和他交朋友。表“是否”含义的时候,在动词不定式前,用“whether”,而不用“i

26、。此处意为:接受礼物的人。本段中两次出现这个单词,从上下文中可以判断,如果我们的收入不如对方多,我们在赠送礼物时,要确保接受礼物的人知道我们的收入不高。相反,如果我们的收入比对方高,我们要让接受礼物的人知道,我们赠送礼物不希望得到同等价值的回赠。答案:C3解析:细节理解题。从最后一段最后一句话可知:你所买的礼物不一定要很贵重,但一定要用心去挑选。答案:D4解析:推理判断题。麦凯说他一定要买两个礼物为的是一个是送给对方过生日的礼物,另一个是送给对方过节日的礼物。从本段的主题和下面的内容都可以推断出他买两个礼物的目的。主题句的意思是如果一个人的生日和节日日期相近,你会买几个礼物?答案:B5解析:推理判断题。从最后一段话可以推断出,如果你真的不知道给对方买什么礼物,就去问一下他对什么感兴趣,买他感兴趣的东西,不过一定要有创意,要独特噢!故D项正确。答案:D.(1)encourage(2)succeed(3)reasons(4)nothing(5)disappoint/discourage(6)make(7)lesson(8)improve(9)chance/opportunity(10)later
